🎃🚨SCARIEST THING ABOUT HALLOWEEN? NOT ONE OF THESE BABIES HAS FOUND A HOME!🚨🎃

See all available dogs here ➡️ https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/shelter/crockett-county-pound

Y’all… we have a problem. 😭

We’ve been offering $5 ADOPTIONS on our already spayed/neutered dogs, and so far… NOT. ONE. SINGLE. ADOPTION. 💔

FIVE DOLLARS, Y’ALL!!! That’s less than a bag of Halloween candy! 🍬

These babies have been waiting so patiently for someone to choose them. Some have spent weeks in our shelter. Others have spent MONTHS watching people come and go, hoping that maybe, just maybe, the next person walking through those gates will be there for them. 🥺

And here’s the thing…

❤️ They’re already spayed or neutered!
🐾 They’re vaccinated!
❤️ They’re ready for a family to love!
🏡 And today, their adoption fee is just FIVE DOLLARS!

🎃 TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF OUR HALLOWEEN ADOPTION SPECIAL! 🎃

And because we want to give these babies every possible opportunity, I WILL PERSONALLY MEET ADOPTERS AT THE POUND ANYTIME BEFORE 4 PM TODAY!

All I ask is that you CALL AHEAD so I can be there to meet you!

🐾 PLEASE, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! 🐾

Maybe you can’t adopt. Maybe you already have a house full of four-legged freeloaders. 😂 But someone on your friends list might be looking for their new best friend!

These dogs don’t care about Halloween candy, costumes, or trick-or-treating.

They just want a home. A couch. A family. Someone to finally choose THEM. ❤️

🎃 Let’s make this Halloween the day some shelter dogs get the sweetest treat of all….a FOREVER HOME! 🏡🐾

$5. TODAY ONLY. CALL AHEAD. BEFORE 4 PM.

❤️🐾 WHO’S READY TO MAKE A DOG’S WHOLE WORLD CHANGE TODAY?! 🐾❤️

While we do not take in cats (as there are no applicable leash laws that apply to them), sometimes we do have to give them a helping hand. This little baby is safely inside with the finders now ❤️ Thank you to Alamo Police Dept for removing the storm grate prior to my arrival!

🐾❤️ 115 DAYS OF WAITING… CAN WE FINALLY FIND BUDDY HIS PERSON? ❤️🐾

Meet BUDDY, our 3 year old Mastiff mix with a big ol’ head, an even bigger heart, and the courage of a marshmallow. 🥹❤️

You see, Buddy is what we lovingly call a gentle giant. He’s a whole lot of dog with a whole lot of love to give, but underneath that big, tough looking exterior is one enormous BABY. 🐶💕

On July 6th, Buddy was found abandoned on a secluded backroad. We don’t know what his life looked like before that day, but we do know that he deserved better.

And for 115 days, we’ve been hoping someone would see just how special this boy really is.

❤️ Here’s what you should know about Buddy:

🐾 He’s approximately 3 years old.
🐾 He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped!
🐾 He generally gets along well with other dogs who are friendly and respectful toward him.
🐾 He’s affectionate, sweet, and absolutely LOVES attention from his people.
🐾 Despite his size, Buddy can be a bit of a scaredy cat! New, loud, or unfamiliar things can make him nervous, and when he feels frightened or cornered, he may react defensively to ask for space.

Buddy isn’t looking for someone who expects him to be fearless. He’s looking for someone who understands that even the biggest dogs sometimes need a little reassurance. ❤️

He needs a patient, understanding family who will respect his boundaries, help him build confidence, and give him a safe place to finally relax.

Because behind that big, handsome face is a dog who just wants to feel loved, understood, and secure.

115 days is a long time to wait for somewhere to belong. And we would LOVE nothing more than to see Buddy finally get his happy ending. 🥹

🎃 BUDDY’S ADOPTION FEE IS JUST $5 THROUGH OCTOBER 31! 🎃

That’s right! This handsome, fully vetted boy can become part of your family for just FIVE DOLLARS!

❤️ Please SHARE Buddy! Somewhere out there is a person who won’t see a big, intimidating dog. They’ll see an oversized sweetheart who just needs someone to be his safe place.

Let’s help Buddy find his person. 🐾❤️

💜🐾💜RESCUED💜🐾💜

Genesis left with her new foster family this morning. Thankfully she did not have any little furry surprises waiting for me when I arrived. Thank you PAWS of Humboldt for taking on this sweet girl.

***UPDATE: FOSTER SECURED***
Thank you to Michelle Dawn and PAWS of Humboldt for networking this sweet girl today. ❤️

She is now safely contained in the care of Crockett County Pound. She is heavily pregnant and appears to be nearing labor.

But I want everyone to consider something beyond the heartbreaking circumstances of this particular dog.

What would have happened if nobody had intervened?

This mama could have given birth alone in the woods, with no shelter, no medical attention, and no protection for her puppies. Those puppies, if they survived, could have grown up with little to no human interaction, eventually becoming fearful, unsocialized adult dogs. Left unaltered, they could have continued reproducing, creating generations of dogs living and breeding without proper care.

And that is how one abandoned, pregnant dog can become a much larger animal welfare AND public safety concern.

Roaming dogs can create traffic hazards, threaten livestock and other pets, increase the risk of bites, and contribute to the spread of disease. Each additional litter also increases the burden on local shelters, rescue organizations, and taxpayers.

Animal Control is not simply about picking up stray dogs and finding them homes. It is about protecting our communities, preventing problems before they escalate, and addressing situations that affect both public safety and animal welfare.

Today, helping this one mama may have prevented an entire chain of future problems.

And while her story is just one example, it illustrates something important about the role Animal Control plays in our community.

Sometimes the most important work we do isn’t measured by how many dogs we take in, but by how many future problems we prevent. ❤️🐾

🎃🐾🎃🐾 NO TRICKS, JUST TREATS 🐾🎃🐾🎃
🎃🐾$5 ADOPTIONS THROUGH 10/31🐾🎃

The Harvest Festival was a HUGE success, but the celebration isn’t over! ❤️

Several of the wonderful dogs who joined us are still waiting to find their forever families, so we’re extending our special $5 adoption fee through Halloween, October 31!

Many of these sweet faces have been with us for quite some time. They’ve watched friends find their families, greeted countless visitors, and patiently waited for someone to choose them.

And we think they’re worth the wait. ❤️

🐾 Already spayed/neutered!
🐾 Up-to-date on vaccines
🐾 Just $5 to adopt!
🐾 Wonderful dogs with so much love to give!

Sometimes finding the perfect match takes a little longer, and we’re hoping this week brings some long awaited happy endings!

*This special applies to all dogs who have already been spayed/neutered only.

Help us make this Halloween one to remember! 🎃❤️

Even if you can’t adopt, sharing this post could be the reason one of these dogs finally finds their person.
